For the past four months Barnardo’s – the biggest children’s charity in the UK – has been running a project called The Teens’ Speech. Every week via the organisation’s YouTube channel young people were invited to share their thoughts on issues such as Health, Education and the Environment. The end goal of the project was to produce a short film designed to get to the heart of some of the issues facing young people today and, more importantly, their take on them:

Four YouTube users were invited to appear in the final film: JoeSYKE, jmorris31, MidgetWHITETRASH and Debaserxx. Firstly congratulations to them – hopefully everyone will agree that the film is a great success in its own right. But if you watch the film you will see in the credits that many more YouTube UK users contributed to the project as a whole, which is why this post is going to end with a list of seemingly unrelated channel names. So, why not see what else the people below have chosen to share via their YouTube channels and head to the TheTeensSpeech channel for more from the Barnardo’s team.
